Fishing!!

Hermana Favero spent her computer time chatting with her family today so we didn't get a very long email.  She mentioned to me, while we were chatting, that she doesn't think she will be transferred but if she is it will be next Tuesday.  She also mentioned she was happy to get out of her area for the day and go to the beach.  She was getting a little stir crazy and she has always loved the beach.  Here is her email:

This pday we went FISHING!!!! Super fun! We went to the beach and fished off the pier!!! I don't have a lot to write about this week but I am doing really good and I am making tons of great memories!!! I hope all is well with you guys! I want to hear from everyone!!! I love you all so much! I hope you have an amazing week!!!!!

Chevere!

Hermana Favero decided to write this email in Spanish! The little stinker!

Esta semana empezamos a tomar desayuno en nuestro cuarto! Estamos lejos de nuestro pensión entonces compramos lo que queremos y comemos tranquilas!  También esta semana teníamos una pollada para una pareja! Ellos quieren casarse para poder bautizarse pero no tienen mucho dinero para hacerlo. Ellos hacían pollo para vender y nosotros les ayudamos! Super chevere! El últimos son de la aniversario de La Victoria! tomamos fotos en la parque con una ancla y una tanque para Kagun y con las cosas de la feria! son recuerdos que nunca voy a olvidar! 
 Espero que todos están bien y que todos están feliz! 
  Les amo muchísimo!!!!   

Here is how it translated:

This week we started to have breakfast in our room! We are far from our pension we buy what we want and eat quiet! Also this week we had a brood for a couple! They want to marry baptized but do not have much money to do so. They had chicken to sell and we help them! Super chevere! The latter are of the anniversary of the Victory! take photos in the park with a anchor and a tank Kagun and the things of the show! They are memories that I will never forget!

I hope all is well and everyone is happy!

New Room

So I don't want to send a way long email this week, so I'll just tell you here that Hno Hubert, our convert that drank again, is going to church again and he wants to have an appointment with the bishop as soon as he can but now we have another problem. He lives in another ward's boundaries. We will have to work with him until he has enough self confidence to move to his own ward.  The problem is that he doesn't have any family and he doesn't know any of the members of his ward and he is basically family of a family in our ward. He is over at their house every day and he goes to church with them every Sunday. This is gonna be hard.


So this is our new room!!! We are living in a little room in a huge house. The family we are living with aren't members but they are the sweetest people ever! They have a yard, which is unheard of here and we are upstairs so we don't eat dirt like we used to when we study! The Street is called Pachacutic. Two blocks up is where the church is and they are working on putting in an actual street instead of dirt! I'm so excited for it to be done haha it's no fun having to empty your shoes every five minutes from all of the sand

Mountains To Cimb

Wow this week was a huge roller coaster! 

We haven't been having very good numbers lately and we were walking down the street and found Hno Hubert (The man we baptized when Hna Torres was still here) completely wasted. He was very respectful with us and I was very grateful for that but it still scared me. I have never been in a situation like that! (besides when I got kissed by a drunk guy that one time :P) He kept telling us that his life has been destroyed. We decided to take him to Hno Lopez`s house and then we went to get him food because we had a feeling that he hadn't eaten lunch. When we walked away, I couldn't hold back the tears. Hno Hubert is completely alone here. His girlfriend completely separated herself from him and he has no communication with his kids. We are his only family here and we can't see him every day. We fasted for him yesterday and we are praying everyday that he gets back to the good ole Hubert he was right before and after his baptism. He is such an amazing man and could bring such great blessings to the ward here. All we can do is pray and work with him to get him back to the path. 

  

Other than that I'm doing alright here. We found another golden family last night and I know that in the near future they will all be baptized hehe.

  

I hope everything is going fantasticly at home! I miss you all like none other but I know that here is where I'm supposed to be right now. Ugh I have so much to tell but no time to tell it. I will try to write as much as I can in letters and in my journal to share with you all! 

              I love you all soooo much and I hope that you all have an amazing week! 

                                               Les amo mucho! Hermana Favero

Another slow week

Hey Family and Friends!!!! 

This week was another slow week for us but I do have some stories to tell you all! 

So we have been super happy about a family that we just reactivated and then yesterday we passed by their house and they had friends over and they were drinking. We don't know if the parents of this family were drinking or just their friends but it makes us really worried. We are going to go over there today and try to lift them up spiritually a little bit. I hope they keep going on the right track! 

Also we have a new investigator who we are working with really hard. Her name is Cleo and she has a grandson who is a member. We are also working with her granddaughter and she always goes to church with us! Cleo is Catholic and she doesn't understand the difference between her baptism and baptism in our church. She knows that we are here to invite her to come unto Christ and to be baptized but she just won't take that step to say yes yet. We also have an appointement with her tonight and we have some videos we will show her to hopefully get her thinking more towards being baptized! 

Sorry again, I don't have time to send pics but when I do have time I will be sure to send them! 

I hope you all have an amazing week and remember that you have a Heavenly Father who loves you and wants to hear from you always! I love you all so much! 

                                         Les amo! Hermana Favero

It's a short one, and she didn't send the pics she said she would, but she sounds great!

I hope everything is going well at home!

 

I'm doing pretty good here. Same things every day it seems like. We will be changing rooms this week so I will send pics of the pretty new room next week! I'm super excited! No more eating dirt every day!!!!!! 

 

I dont have much to tell this week. It all was pretty slow. Not many goals were met this week so we are kinda bummed. We will definitely work harder this next week!!!! I will have so much more to tell next monday!!!!! I love you all so very much!!!!! Until next Monday!!!!! 

                                          Con mucho amor! Hermana Favero  

Tender Mercies

Hola familia y amigos!
 So I got all of my pics that I lost back so I will send them next week! 
 How is everyone!? I have been praying for Kaitlyn like crazy! I keep thinking back to when I was in pain 24/7 and wishing I could go back in time and I wish now that I could be there to help her! Be there to cry with her and laugh at her too haha ;P I'll continue to pray for her and everyone else too lol ;P
  This week I had a lot of ups! We found a new family who really wants to learn! They are a really young family with three little boys all under the age of 7! Two of them are twins. They are little devils! We have to go to their little house when the kids are napping or the Spirit can't be felt by anyone! The Hermana is Catholic and was baptized as a baby. She had a dream the other night and it kind of made her think twice about us. She dreamed that two really black, scary dogs were chasing her trying to kill her and another dog (light brown) came in and killed them both saving her. She took that as God telling her that she shouldn't change her religion. She thought that the two black dogs represented Hermana Meneses and I. We explained to her that God doesn't want to scare us to answer our prayers. He only answers in simple, beautiful ways. Things like her dream are not from God. The enemy is always trying to confuse us. I think that helped. We have a long path ahead of us with them because they aren't married yet. The people here think of marriage as a bad thing. Like if they get married, they will be unhappy. Like a trap. Yeah we are really needed here! 
  Then the other day,  we were in one of the little corner stores, that are everywhere, here and a little girl looked at me and whispered to her dad "mira Barbie!" She called me Barbie! That made me feel super good! It's little things like that that keep me going! Also, the family that we just reactivated out of the blue invited us to their family home evening ! They are doing so good! I have been seeing so many more miracles and tender mercies this past week. It's still so dang hard but I'm chugging along. I'll get there! Keep praying for me! Lord knows I need it haha ;P 
        Well that's all for this week! I hope you all have an amazing week! Have faith and remember that you are a child of God! I love you all sooooo much!!!!!! 
                                     Hasta la siguiente lunes!   Hermana Favero
